3Instructions for Assembly and Use – Standard Configuration
The working platform can be supple-
mented with:
– clamping unit, strongback and adjust-
able braces for accommodating the
VARIO and TRIO formwork systems.
– a height-adjustable finishing platform
complete with access ladder which is
attached to posts.
– end-to-end guardrails on the working
and finishing platforms in accordance
with EN 12811.
– a tension anchor which prevents tip-
ping inwards.
Technical Data:
– width of bracket: 1.60 m
– static height: 1.80 m
– max. formwork height: 5.40 m
General
The CB 160 climbing formwork is normally
used as shoring in order to support an-
chored wall formwork in accordance
with EN 12812. The formwork is firmly
connected with the scaffolding and is
moved as a single unit suspended on a
crane.
The system can also be used as work-
ing scaffold only.
The working platform for operating the
formwork consists of planking, platform
beams and two fixed climbing brackets.
These transfer the loads deriving from
the dead weight, live loads and prevail-
ing wind loads via the anchorage and
bottom pressure point into the structure.

Introduction
Standard Configuration
Intended Use
1. PERI products have been designed
for use in the industrial and commercial
sectors only by suitably trained personnel.
2. These instructions for assembly and
use serve as basis for the project-related
risk assessment and the instructions
for the provision and use of the system
by the contractor (user). However, they
don’t replace them.
3. Only PERI original components may
be used. The use of other products and
spare parts represents a misapplication
with associated safety risks.
4. The components are to be inspected
before each use to ensure that they are
in perfect condition and that they fun-
tion correctly.
5. Changes to PERI components are
not permitted and represent a misappli-
cation with associated safety risks.
6. Safety instructions and permissible
loads must be observed at all times.
7. Components provided by the contractor
must conform with the characteristics
required in these instructions for
assembly and use as well as with all valid
construction guidelines and standards.
In particular, the following applies if
nothing else is specified:
– Timber components: Strength Class
C24 for Solid Wood EN 338.
– Scaffold tubes: galvanised steel tubing
with minimum dimensions
Ø 48.3 x 3.2 mm according to
EN 12811-1:2003 4.2.1.2.
– Scaffold tube couplings according to
EN 74.
8. Deviations from the standard config-
uration may only be carried out after a
separate risk assessment has been
completed by the contractor (user). On
this basis, appropriate measures for the
working safety and stability are to be
implemented.
